Christmas Day

Mik, Michelle and James Tree.

Two Great Prime Ribs about to come out of the oven

Mik slicing up the first Prime Rib.

We had a great Christmas Day! Mik, Michelle and James made the best tasting Prime Rib. It melted in your mouth! Everyone brought their specialty, so there was lots of good food and treats around. Everyone was in a great mood and it was fun visiting with them.

Vera and I got a set of outdoor speakers, so I am going to have to finish the wiring I put in about 10 years ago. It already runs out to the deck from the entertainment center so I just have to add jacks and a wall plate.

It sure is great when you can spend such an enjoyable day with family and friends.

Christmas Food!

There is what I did today, sheeted the lower side of a wing. Vera made fudge, a recipe that has honey in it. I got to lick the bowl and I must say it turned out good. Of course that is all I get until Christmas!

We did go out once, made a mail run and picked up some supplies for Vera's Christmas Crab Casserole.

I am looking forward to Christmas and not just for the food.

Christmas Lights

After eating at the 49'er tonight we went driving around Castle Rock looking at Christmas lights. I think we enjoyed this one the most.

Saturday, Jackie came up and spent the afternoon. Her computer is having issues and I tried to fix it without any success. I did get all her data off the hard drive.

Sunday was pretty laid back, football and building models. I came in once and Vera had just finished chocolate chip cookies made from scratch. I got four of them, the rest are for Christmas.

Weekend

We had a good weekend. James spent Friday night with us, so I got in more practice on the Xbox. Sometimes, I think I am getting it figured out. Jack and Marsha brought over a Christmas gift with popcorn in it that Vera and James made in the old fashion way, in a pan on the stove. It got exciting when we poured it into the bowl as a few more kernels popped and popcorn was flying everywhere. James played his favorite song on the piano several times for us while he was here. I will put a link to it on YouTube.

Sunday we went to James' basketball games and then headed home for a little R&R (watching football), icing the knee and heat on the shoulder.

Today is our Christmas present wrapping day, which went very well and we are all done.
